Torino president Urbano Cairo criticises Joe Hart's recent performances for Serie A club

Torino president Urbano Cairo believes goalkeeper Joe Hart has been affected by speculation over his future.

Hart has been on loan at the Serie A club from Manchester City this season after being deemed surplus to requirements by Pep Guardiola and is being tracked by Liverpool, Everton and West Ham.

And while the England international made a decent start to life in Italy – Torino's head coach Sinisa Mihajlovic admitted he wanted to sign Hart in a permanent deal this summer – his performances have dipped.

Hart was at fault for Crotone's equaliser in a 1-1 draw at the weekend and Cairo feels this is partly due to the constant speculation regarding his future.

"There's too much being said about Hart," Cairo told Tuttosport.

"Since this has been happening, his performance levels have dropped. This is already the third time we concede a goal this way and that's a bit too much.
